While the dress question was still unde,
consideration parliament met and 1t was
as usual opened by the queen. Buchanan
received circular asking him to be
present and saying that no one would be
admitted who was not in full court dress.
The result was that Buchanan did not go,
and his absence called forth the comment
OF the newspapers. He writes home to
the state department that he has deter
mined to wear 10 gold lace or embroidery
at court, and that be had expressed Il de
sire 20 the master of ceremonies 10 appear

zen, IL was then suggested 10 Buchanan
that he might assume the civil dress ot

fashions have so changed that if | were TO
put on this dress and wear il at one Of our
presidents receptions | would be the sub
ject of ridicsle for life. - and further that
he considered il a presumption for him to
affect the style OF dress Of the father Of
his country.
His worry is shown in his letters 10 his
hlece harrlet Lane, VINO was expecting 10
visit him In England. He fears, he says,
that he shall not be invited to the court
receptions upon this account, and that II
he is not. he Will probably be dropped by
